The Prime forman that fought Ali in Zaire is one of the strongest and most frightening heavyweight fighters I have ever seen.
He looked possessed, it was not just trowing hard punches it was fast well timed you are gonna die now punches.
My farther is old now but still talk about that fight and have it was to watch it live back then,he even has a picture hanging of Ali after he landed that last punch and foreman finally fell.
The whole world was glued to the tv in that fight.
What Ali accompliced in that fight was something that transcends boxing and sport , he went in there with a fighter that have knocked out and crushed fighters he himself had struggled with, foreman was stronger,faster,younger,determined but Ali took that fight anyway because he felt he must beat the best to be the greatest, and he went on to beat him on pure hart and refusal to lose.
That is have greatness is earned
In 1000 years people are still gonna talk about that fight
I know that fight changed something in many people,and in me, Ali beat death in that fight .
As to if a prime foreman beats vitaly? yes I think so
I'm not sure he KO him, but it's more likely over 15 rounds than that he doesn't ko him.
I think he beats him a high % of the time though. Vitali is a tough SOB and would give most heavyweights in history some trouble, but i can't see him beating many of the top ATGs. Foreman being one of his worst matchups.
Prime Vitaly struggled and lossed and got his face laceraed by Lennox Lewis who took the fight on 2 week s notice, in the worst conditioning hes ever been, past his prime, 38 yrs old and while Lewis brawling which is not his style at all.
No ****** is your post because your missing the point, point is some guys offense is there defense so while it would be good to have defense you can't count the guy out and say he would lose or not get the ko based on his lack of defense idiot.
He only lifted ONE off his feet, and only sort of. Frazier was bent over, and perfect for an uppercut, and it was he himself who took those two little hops away from Foreman. Foreman didn't "lift"\ him off his feet. Foreman was also nearly 6 inches taller, making it very easy for a tall strong fighter to uppercut with force, a small bent forward opponent right in front of him.
It was like as if Frazier was putting himself in the easiest position in front of Foreman to help him tee off on him.
Wrong he knocked Moore from the center of the ring to the ropes at 45 go back and watch the fight
